Ossian. Obras. Ed. por J. H. Merck. 4 partes en 2 volúmenes. Fráncfort y Leipzig, Fleischer, 1783. Con 4 frontispicios en cobre (anónimos, basados en un original de Goethe). 8º pequeño. Volúmenes de la época con etiqueta en el lomo (ligeramente golpeados, la etiqueta del lomo parcialmente desgastada). Schulte/Strathaus 141, 7b; Tombo, Ossian in Germany, páginas 23.- Segunda edición ampliada, que, en comparación con la edición publicada conjuntamente con Goethe en 1773/77, se amplió con «An answer to Mr. Shaw’s inquiry into the authenticity of the poems...» de John Clark, reflejando así el creciente debate sobre la autenticidad de los cantos de Ossian. No se puede subestimar la importancia que tuvieron las obras de Ossian —que solo más tarde se demostraron claramente como falsificaciones— para la literatura alemana de la época. Goethe y Merck consideraban indispensable conocer el texto original, dadas las numerosas traducciones e imitaciones que ya existían por entonces.
